microphone away from the speakers or change the
direction of the microphone.
• If you want to record your voice through the
microphone only, you can do so by selecting the
TAPE A function and not playing any tape.
• When high level sound signals are input, the system
automatically adjust the recording level to prevent
distortion of the recorded sound signals (Auto Level
Control Function).
